weils disease - anyone with experience

[bruffin]

DS 15 probably just has a sickness bug- But he spends a lot of time by rivers ie kayaking or just playing in them so I am a bit wary. He very rarely gets sickness bugs.

If you've had it , how did the symptoms start?

He had a headache last night then has been sick in the middle of the night and then again this morning but no diarrea

A friend of mine who can't post because she's at work has asked me to post to you...she says it might be worth at least ringing the doc as if it is Weils, it's not something you want to mess around waiting with.

Hope it's just an icky tummy, but give doc a call.

Yes definitely get it checked out asap - anyone who spends time in inland waters should take care if they get ill.

This site looks really informative.

thanks I have an appointment for 3.30 feel awful dragging him down there as we have to walk -10 minutes. But I know we need to get it checked out.

Hope it went well Bruffin, and it was nothing sinister...how is he now?

Thanks he is better. It turned out a friend who he was with on Friday had exactly the same. They both were sick at 4am
I will still be cautious about wiels obviously
